On 23 September 2022, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs announced a call for support for people disadvantaged on the labour market (Operational Programme Employment Plus). This call is open to applicants who, within their projects, will work with a target group of people (national minorities, migrants and asylum seekers, young people without work experience, people particularly vulnerable on the labour market) and offer them some of the supported activities (counselling and information activities and programmes; motivational activities; retraining, education; development of basic competences).
The project application should focus on one target group in particular. It must be inactive persons, i.e. persons of working age who are neither employed (nor self-employed) nor unemployed (i.e. registered with the Office of the Czech Republic as a jobseeker), and at the same time are not persons continuously preparing for a future profession, nor are they persons receiving a retirement pension, or jobseekers registered with the Labour Office of the Czech Republic (hereinafter referred to as the Office of the Czech Republic) under Act No. 435/2004 Coll, on employment.
As they must not be persons continuously preparing for a future profession, this call can be used for CTU e.g. for target group B Migrants and asylum seekers - e.g. for persons attending lifelong learning courses and meeting the condition of asylum seekers and migrants from the call.
The call will close on 21 November 2022. The Call allocation is 350 million CZK. The minimum amount of total eligible expenditure per project is CZK 2.5 million. The maximum amount is CZK 10 million. An applicant may submit only 1 project to the call (1 ID number = 1 project).
Due to the nature of the school-wide project, the project application will be administered and prepared by the Structural Funds Department. If you are interested in participating in this school-wide project, please inform (including identifying a possible contact person for your part and quantifying the approximate amount for your part of the project) the Structural Funds Department (david.jones@cvut.cz and daniela.mala@cvut.cz) by 14 October 2022.
